The FAA has approved Teterboro Airport’s (KTEB) noise compatibility program (NCP), which the New Jersey airfield submitted last July. While that submission started a 60-day public review process, the agency noted that it received no comments on the program during that time.

The NCP issued by the airport consists of actions to be phased in over five years and the FAA was asked to review and approve or disapprove each item within 180 days. According to the agency, of the 33 measures submitted to minimize the impacts of aviation noise on and off the airport, 23 were approved, another four were approved as voluntary, three were determined to have no FAA action as a continuation of existing mandatory practices at KTEB, and three were not approved.
